HD Loader problem

[fleihr]

I purchased a hdd and a copy of hd loader in a bundle package however when I insert the hd loader disc I get a disc read error. All my ps2 games work flawlessly no problem boting ever so I dont think its the laser. I did notice like right in the center of the disc where the hole is thers like some kind of gluey substance on it, could that be causing the problem? I dont kno if the actual disc tries to read from that area or not.

when you say you bought a package ! where from etc ??? is it a dirty (ileagle)copy ??? if its good then take it back and get a replacement !
generaly discs get read from around an inch in from the centre out ! then skip about like crazy lol .
do you have a mod ? what v ps2 do you have etc etc.

sorry for the lack of info

I purchased the hdd and hd loader offline from consolesource.com, no my ps2 isnt modded, and it is a version 7 I believe
